In the world of nutrition, what's fab one day is carcinogenic the next; a look at the biggest nutrition discoveries of 2016​

Fats keep you slim

A study by the University of Barcelona in Spain assigned participants (with type-2 diabetes or high heart risk) to different eating plans & found that those who ate a Mediterranean diet rich in olive oil for 5 years lost more weight than those who followed a low-fat diet

Go Japanese

A study published in the British Medical Journal found that Japanese people who closely followed their national food guidelines—lots of rice, veggies, fish, meat & soybean products—had a 15% lower mortality rate than their peers who didn’t

Pulses fight pounds

Without making any other efforts to slim down, people who added 3/4 of a cup of pulses to their diet every day for six weeks lost 0.75 pounds, according to a review in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition this year

Honey has a hitch

Honey has long been thought of as an all-natural, antioxidant-rich alternative to sugar, but research published in The Journal of Nutrition shows otherwise; apparently honey has the same ill effects on our health as white cane sugar & corn syrup

Eat insects

Forget green juice; bugs may be the new "it" food; researchers in UK & China found that some insects have a higher concentration of calcium, copper, zinc & magnesium than a sample of steak; plus insects had higher iron solubility
